Initiated Measure 15 would be a $180 MILLION dollar per year tax increase!
On Tuesday, November 6, vote NO on IM15. It really would be the largest tax increase in South Dakota history, and is earmarked for two special interest groups.
If you don’t like this proposed tax hike, you are not alone. Here is a list of organizations opposing the Largest Tax Increase in South Dakota History:
-
MANY South Dakota editorial boards
-
SD Farm Bureau
-
SD Retailers Association
-
SD Association of Cooperatives

I think that it is so important to fund education and care of the elderly and disabled, but there should be a time limit on this tax increase.
It will hurt the poorest and the middle class.
I will vote NO on Initiated Measure 15.
Other forms of funding should be researched further.
This really puts more burden on the property tax payors.
The declaration that a given tax increase is the largest in history is not a reason in itself to vote against a tax increase. Such a principle ignores the fact that inflation might well make a tax increase that exceeds past increases logical and necessary to maintain government services.
There are other reasons IM15 might be a bad idea. But this argument is focused on showing that your blog post is just noisy, thoughtless hyperbole rather than a thoughtful policy analysis.
Once again, thanks for the kind words ….
